Finally got around to watching 1st Event Finale, My Thoughts
Wesley is a buffoon who had that missed 3 (some would say 2) footer absolutely coming. For those who said it was one of his “I’ll tap” moments, it was not. Not only did he fix the divot, he took a PRACTICE SWING. Not a tap, just a completely missed putt. Which of course, happens to all of us, but at that stage of the match, maybe take another second or two to figure it out with your match on the line. Sean Walsh IS YouTube Golf, and that name better strike fear in every future opponent he faces.
Ben Hadden vs John (Jordan) Peterson was the match of the video. John slowly but surely coming out of his shell, going from a D1 YouTube golf hater to not-so-secretly loving it by the end. And then you have Ben still riding the high of one of the greatest 2 iron shot in YouTube (or honestly all) golf history, and holding off a legit PGA player until the final hole. The banter, the dry whit, I’m here for all of it. Respect plus watchability skyrocketed for both of them.
Roger Steele deserves exactly what happened to him for his cocky (some would say bullying) antics and demeanor during the internet invitational. He kept a fair enough composure but good god it’s high time that guy learned some humility. #FinchTeam6
Loved every second of Micah tearing that course up. Yeah I know Garett pretty much became his personal cheerleader by hole 5 but it was still pretty heartwarming to see two cousins (who had a MAJOR hand in bringing YouTube gold to the level it is today) having a great time on the course just like when they were kids. If Micah keeps playing like this (and perhaps goes to 1 or 2 of his anger management courses), he’ll be solidified on the mount in no time.
Really would have loved to see more of Kwon and Sam out there especially since they learned to be somewhat positive golfers, even if it did mean Block doing the exact opposite of every single** **point he made during the elimination round (#CutTwice)
Grant still creeps the absolute shit out of me. The sociopathic smiles, the blank stares into nothingness, the 100 Oh My Gosh’s trying to build up some kind of drama. I just can’t wrap my head around how he’s one of maybe 3 or 4 faces of YouTube golf and can’t have even a somewhat normal conversation with anyone. Plus, ya know, Mickelson #yikes.
Although, I will absolutely defend him ragebaiting Wesley at the end, that was hysterical.
- / Honorable Mentions:
• Ruffles has less personality on the course than Sean Walsh after a $1 vs $10,000 road trip challenge. To be fair, Brad was beating the BRAKES off of him.
• Re: Brad Dalke,
Thank you for what could possibly be the greatest round of YouTube golf I’ve ever watched. Pure class the whole way.
End of drunk rant, thanks for reading.
